Arvind Kejriwal’s speech, 4 messages
1. Arrived with Bhagat Singh’s book: Kejriwal arrived at the meeting with Bhagat Singh’s book “Bhagat Singh Ki Jail Diary” written in jail. He said that the British used to take Bhagat Singh’s letters out. I was in jail, my letter was not delivered to LG. I was threatened not to do this again.”
2. Called himself a revolutionary Chief Minister: Kejriwal said that after Bhagat Singh, after 90-95 years, a revolutionary Chief Minister went to jail in independent India. 3 days before 15 August, I had asked the LG to let Atishi hoist the tricolor in my place. The letter did not reach the LG.
3. My Agni Pariksha like Mata Sita: Delhi CM said that when Lord Ram returned from exile after 14 years, Mata Sita had to undergo Agni Pariksha. Today I will undergo Agni Pariksha.
4. Delhi assembly elections should be held in November: Kejriwal said- Elections are in February, I demand that elections be held in November. Elections should be held along with Maharashtra.

5 Key Takeaways from Kejriwal’s Speech
1- Read Bhagat Singh’s jail diary. After Bhagat Singh, a revolutionary chief minister went to jail after independence. I wrote only one letter to LG. On 15th August, the Chief Minister of Delhi Government hoists the flag. 3 days before this, I wrote a letter to LG requesting Atishi to be allowed to hoist the flag in my place.
2- Even the British would not have thought that after independence, a more cruel and tyrannical ruler than the British would come. Bhagat Singh and Batukeshwar had thrown a bomb in the assembly. Both were kept in adjacent cells in the same jail. 95 years later, Manish and Kejriwal go to jail in the same case, both were kept in separate jails, they were not allowed to meet each other. Gandhi, Nehru, Patel went to jail, they were allowed to meet everyone.
3- Their aim is to break the spirit of Aam Aadmi Party and Kejriwal. Their formula is to break the MLAs, put them in jail, send them to ED, break the party, topple governments and form their own government. They felt that if Kejriwal is sent to jail, his party will break. Forget about our MLAs, even our workers did not break.
4- They have another formula. Wherever they lose, file a fake case against the CM and arrest him and form the government. There are cases against Siddaramaiah, Mamata and Pinarayi Vijayan. When I went to jail, the Supreme Court asked why the government cannot be run from within the jail.
5- I was a commissioner in income tax. I left the job in 2000 and served Delhi till 2010. I have lived in slums. If I had to earn money, my job would not have been bad. At that time, I did not have a party, I did not want to become the chief minister, I only had a passion for the country. After 49 days of government, I resigned for principles. No one asked for it. No one leaves the job of a peon, I left the post of CM. I do not have any greed for the post.
